Let's All Laugh At... Let's All Laugh At West Ham

They're 8th, only goal difference away from occupying a European spot and still in the Europa League. Yet West Ham fans are going on as if they're struggling like Everton and Sheff Utd. The delusion within that fanbase is almost at Liverpool's level.

To be fair Tottenham were 4th when we sacked Conte. If you don't enjoy watching your team any more you're going to want a change.

But Conte didn't win anything. Would we have been as disgruntled if Conte won us a European trophy?

I think probably West Ham see teams like Brighton playing progressive football, or a club like Villa now challenging for the top four, and they feel like they’re being shortchanged. If Brighton can play such attractive football, why can’t they? If Villa can fight for the top four, why can’t they? Why should they settle for dull football to finish 7th or 8th?

It’s true that winning that European cup was historic for them. But that kind of achievement only buys a coach so much time, especially with huge style of football being an aggravating factor (we sacked Pochettino shortly after reaching the final of the Champions League). Anyway, winning a trophy can also raise expectations.

At Old Trafford last week they sung:

He only kicked a cat
He only kicked a cat
At least he's not a rapist
At least he's not a rapist
At least he's not a rapist
He only kicked a cat

credit where it's due

Yeah, but to what tune?

Yeah, but to what tune?

I haven't heard it but in my head I hear 'for he's a jolly good fellow.' Which is quite ironoc given what they were singing about!

Some probably would and even more so the trophy West Ham won, as they see it beneath us as a club.

As the cook says below it's to he's a jolly good fellow, I thought it was funny as

Moyes' situation at West Ham has been really amusing for me.

They never took to him or his football but somehow he kept coming back from the dead.

19/20 season

Brought Moyes back in to save them from a potential relagation under Pellegrini.

Won 2 games in his first 11 and their fans were already wanting him out again.
But then he won a few at end of season to keep them up and the owners rewarded him for it.

2020/21

Actually had a good season and qualified for Europe.

21/22

Somehow got up to 4th midway through the season but then collapsed to finish 7th by only winning 4 out of their last 14.

Also managed to get to the semi-final of the Europa which probably saved them from sacking him as the club did look like they wanted to change direction but probably felt they couldnt fire someone for 7th and a semi final.

22/23

Had a crap domestic campaign by finishing 15th but Moyes wins the Conference League to bring them their first trophy.
If he hadn't won it, he surely would have been fired.

He did the exact same thing at Everton.
Good season, followed by poor season etc etc.

It's cause his football is not progressive so after a while players get tired of it. But if he is afforded the chance to bring in new players, he wants, he can start a new cycle of shit football.

I was working for Slavia Prague last year and was told that when Soucek and Coufal went back to Prague, they watched some traning sessions and said that Moyes' training was really outdated and uninteresting.

I hope they have a good end to the season so that they decide to keep him on

Personally I couldn't stand watching another season of his football even if he'd won us a minor trophy.

Saw this in another thread, it should be here too to spread the joy and laughter

He’s engaged to Danni Dyer though so if he tried to leave Danny Dyer would probably shank him.

Danny Dyer named his daughter Dani

Yeah I find it highly amusing as well!

Jesus Christ, that statement makes Liverpool fans seem level headed

The thread is hilarious. He doubles down on 5th most followed club by saying its based on avg attendance. That's despite west ham being 14th on this list.

To be fair watching Moyesball week in week out will make you feel like you’re in a relegation battle.

He will end up claiming that he “got a bite” .

Full on delusion.

Yep. It's the standard moronic bantersaurus playbook
